Celebrate with a little pampering and a lot of treats! Growing up, I always knew I had a good childhood, but it wasn’t until I became an adult that I realized just how great my childhood truly was. I was undoubtedly surrounded by love and protection from my parents and family. In addition to that, my childhood was filled with wonderful memories. As a mother, I’m determined to create those same kind of unforgettable memories with my girls. I try to come up with fun ideas for every holiday, including Valentine’s Day. Here’s three Valentine’s Day activities that my girls and I love.
Girls Spa Day
Spa day is one of our favorite “gal’entines” activities. We often do this at home with our favorite Arbonne vegan skincare products. However, we’ve also gone out for spa day (more so prior to the pandemic). Either way, my girls love it! From kiddie facials to mani’s and pedi’s, they soak up every moment.
DIY Charcuterie Boards
Another fun activity we do are DIY charcuterie boards filled with our favorite Valentine’s Day treats. Our boards typically consist of cupcakes, chocolates, and cookies. However, that’s only one of many ideas that you can do with a charcuterie board. For those who prefer healthier kid snacks, you could also make a fruit and cheese board which are still sweet and yummy treats. There’s so much you can do with it! Regardless of how you decide to decorate it, just make it your own and fun for the kids.
Private Ice Cream Party
Our private ice cream parties are the ultimate VIP experience. Have you ever met a mom who’s EXTRA? Well that’s me, I’m that mom! To enter this exclusive party, you must have a special invitation, so I create cute little announcements and hang them on the outside of my girls’ bedroom doors. I love to see their faces light up when they see these invitations. And it’s so cute to watch my youngest run over to her sister’s room to ask her what the invitation says (she’s still learning to read). Check out our ice cream waffle bowl recipe below.
- 1 waffle cone bowl
- 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- A drizzle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup
- Gummy worms, sprinkles, or strawberries to top it off (your choice)
